Hardy Ferns

Hardy Ferns are extremely forgiving and have an incredibly strong survival instinct. They will grow where other plants fail to thrive and do best in moist, shady locations with soil high in organic matter. Their varied forms, sizes and textures add interest to the garden. Ferns make excellent companions for woodland plantings like Hosta, Columbine, Liriope and Caladiums.
